Paul thanks for all the great information on the Rotary.  But I have
a few questions

1. Does the rotary compare ( if you will ) to a V4, or V6

2. I have heard the rotary is VERY noisy at the required cruise RPM's.

3. What about fuel consumption, I hear that compares to a V8

4. I have heard that the rotary does not really provide lots of torque.

1. Yes.

2. Yes.

3. Yes and no. The BSFC is about 5% more.

4. About the same for a given displacement.

Try getting a bit more specific. :)
Read the web site first :)

A two rotor engine fires every 180* which is the same as a 4 banger. Thus
for
racing it is standard to multiply the Mazda specified displacement by two as
the 4 banger has to go around 2 times to get the displacement of firing on
all 4 cylinders one time each. The three rotor is like a 6 cylinder.

Got it.  Thanks
